@ South Melb

Yeah but nah, there’ll be a few hundred outside at any one time maybe but not a few thousand.

A decent effort all the same but like Unions “Global” Tens which struggled for crowds for a second year last week, AFLX is going to be a financial drain

I think they have a lot of crap entertainment going on outside Hindmarsh so people are probably filtering in and out.

those numbers are so rubbery. did they include all the media and teams as well ?

Conveniently over 10k in a 14k stadium that did look half full.

10,200 crowd

farken AFL... jog on back to your free tax payer funded stadium

#AFLX oval is not surviving afl boots!! Suspect A league won’t be impressed @kanecornes @Adelaide_FC

They have ditched the silver ball for the yellow, finally a good decision lol

Talking of weird sh*t I just watched the opening E League game which popped up on my twitter feed. 3-1 Roar over Victory lol ... and the pre/post game presentation and commentary EXCEEDED what Fox put out. It was pretty good.

this is their ( AFL ) golden ticket to sell to the chinese

Good too see Adelaide have left the pitch in shit condition.

Watched for about 3 minutes, it is utter shit. On the bright side it is a sign that AFL is becoming a joke sport.

Not sure what this rubbish is, even as a footy fan this is hard to watch, why is the ball silver? Will be interesting to see what the final crowd is, seems to be a lot of people outside.

At least t20 is a legit limited overs form of cricket, yeh they ham it up with the big bash but you can appreciate what it offers, this on the other hand is just pure nonsense. You can score with 2 kicks ffs lol.

Check out the Big Fooddeeeee thread.

You know something is shit when your average brainwashed AFL fans even hate it. I mean, hate it. The comment about KMart getting dumped with AFLX merch on Monday is gold.

these goggles... they do nothing

Watched 5 minutes of this.

What an abortion.

There's basically no tackles laid because the ball just bounces from one end to the other. It's basically kick to kick in the yard, but in a stadium.

Tacky as fuck. Zooper goals. Commentators pulling shit like "from downtown". Some puffy smoke shit goes off after they kick a goal.

The crowd legit DGAF when goals are kicked. You just can't hear a thing.

Nobody in any international market in any year will follow this over rugby union. 

I actually watched a game of this, quite possibly the worst sport i have watched. 

@ Aussie Scott.

That actually makes sence. I prefer Rugby 7’s live to watching on tv. The games in the stadium feels like an event or a party which is what it looks like at Hindmarsh

Reading tweets it seems people who are there are enjoying it and people watching on tv dont like it. 

thats about 5-7k i reckon

Surely even the biggest moron can see how much of a rip off of BBL the marketing is, how can anyone humid that?

Just watched a game and a half. It’s actually too easy - the pitch is too small, the goals too wide, too many points for the long range goal. If I’m an AFL fan I’d treat it as a bit of fun but that’s about it - there’s no danger it will no a BBL, this is just not AFL, but good on em for having a go at this.

I will only post this one. But its shows what football is up against. If he or others think 10 mins is too long what does 45 minutes feel like?

Not watching but looking at the twitter rage.

Here was a vid -

"from downtown"

zooper goal is correct
local media was predicting 10k in attendance ... doesnt look like it... or is it like the real AFL where all those people are in the marquees or at the food/drink stalls

Wait, did the AFL account just use the term 'Zooper' goal? wtf is this shit. Absolute shit circus. If you enjoy this you must be very easy to satisfy.

Surprised that haven't covered the AUFC seat branding
